It is true however - you can't hang stuff from the ceiling. I suspect they have trusses, just like Aerial Assist's truss, for AV equipment. Seating will be on bleachers.

Pekin is a suburb of Peoria, so you'll have plenty of dining choices for dinner Friday night.

Fun tip: If you meet anyone who is from Pekin itself, ask them the old nickname of their high school sports teams. Hint: they are now the Pekin Dragons.

Yeah...about that former nickname...there's a pretty obvious reason why it needed to be changed, so brace yourself for the answer. Lol

I'm really looking forward to making the trip down for Friday and Saturday. Myself and another strategy mentor will be testing out our new 2 person scouting data collection system and we will glady share any data with anyone (especially those 18 teams going to Wisconsin or Midwest so they can open up a wildcard :cool: ). If all goes well, we'll try to post the data after Friday's matches.

Thanks, man. Hope you enjoy the trip to Pekin. Feel free to stop by our pit anytime. As always, we are looking forward to seeing you guys in Milwaukee. With any luck, we can have a rematch of last year's finals...only this time with an inverted outcome ;) lol. Best of luck to you guys this year!

Lol. That works too. We are just so used to playing against you guys. I think we've only had one qualifier match on the same alliance over the past several years...and that was 3 years ago, if I remember right. We just always seem to be matched up opposite each other. Quirks of the sheduling gods, I guess. Lol.

Looking forward to the regional tomorrow! Our robot and tools should already be there, most of the team will be making the trek down early tomorrow morning. Here's to hoping it's not too cold in the dome over the next few days.

Looking at one of the pictures I took there are 15 or so rows of seats. The bleachers (both sides) extend well beyond the end of the field on both ends. The seats are COLD; I suspect the people who are most comfortable will be the ones who bring something to sit upon.

Here is a picture of the playing field taken from the top of the bleachers, when we left the Central Illinois Regional tonight after a long day of set up

Thanks for all the hard work, Tim. Looking forward to an great rookie regional.

Remember, don't open both doors to an air lock everybody.

Here is a little teaser of our robot during a practice match at Central Illinois today. It's the blue robot that starts in the top right of the screen
